<af:panelWindow>

The af:panelWindow type of popup has identical features to the af:dialog except that it does not have the buttonBar facet or button type configurations. The panelWindow control is a layout element that displays its children inside a window. The af:panelWindow must only be used as the immediate child of the af:popup.

Using partial submit commands along with the panel window is recommended because by default, a popup will not restore visibility after a full postback. The immediate parent (af:popup) controls this behavior. If the parent popup's autoCancel property is enabled, full submit commands will cause the popup panel window to auto-dismiss. When the autoCancel property is disabled, full submit commands will restore visibility on postback. See the af:popup tag documentation for more information on controlling aspects of auto-dismissal.

Panel windows will not automatically dismiss for command buttons. Additional logic must be added to dismiss the popup. See the af:popup tag documentation for more information on hiding and displaying popups.

Understanding Close Dismissal

Selecting the panelWindow's close icon translates into a popup-canceled event of the owning inline popup component. Server-side listeners can be registered with the parent af:popup component and will be invoked when the panelWindow is dismissed using the close icon or pressing the Esc key. See af:popup for more information on cancel dismissal.

This component cannot be stretched by a parent layout component and cannot be assigned dimensions via the inlineStyle or styleClass because it displays on its own layer in the page and gets its dimensions from its children's dimensions or from the specified contentWidth and contentHeight dimensions.

This component will stretch its children if the following circumstances are met:

It contains a single child

It has stretchChildren="first" specified

The child has no width, height, margin, border, and padding

The child must be capable of being stretched

Examples of components that can be stretched inside of this component include:

<af:decorativeBox>

<af:panelAccordion>

<af:panelBox>

<af:panelCollection>

<af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll">

<af:panelGroupLayout layout="vertical">

<af:panelHeader>

<af:panelSplitter>

<af:panelStretchLayout>

<af:panelTabbed>

<af:region>

<af:table>

<af:tree>

<af:treeTable>

If you try to put a component inside of this component and that child component does not support being stretched, then the component hierarchy is illegal. To make it legal, you need to insert another intermediate component between this component and the child component. This intermediate component must support being stretched and must not stretch its children. An example of such a component that is commonly used for this purpose is <af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll">. By using a wrapper like this, you create a flowing layout area where nothing will be stretched inside of it. Examples of components that do not support being stretched inside of these panelStretchLayout facets (and therefore need to be wrapped) include:

Events

Type

Phases

Description

org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent

Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values

Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Attributes

Name

Type

Supports EL?

Description

attributeChangeListener

javax.el.MethodExpression

Only EL

a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

binding

oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichPanelWindow

Only EL

an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean.

clientComponent

boolean

Yes

whether a client-side component will be generated. A component may be generated whether or not this flag is set, but if client Javascript requires the component object, this must be set to true to guarantee the component's presence. Client component objects that are generated today by default may not be present in the future; setting this flag is the only way to guarantee a component's presence, and clients cannot rely on implicit behavior. However, there is a performance cost to setting this flag, so clients should avoid turning on client components unless absolutely necessary.

closeIconVisible

boolean

Yes

whether the close icon is visible.

contentHeight

int

Yes

the height of the content area of the dialog in pixels.

contentWidth

int

Yes

the width of the content area of the dialog in pixels.

customizationId

String

Yes

This attribute is deprecated. The 'id' attribute should be used when applying persistent customizations. This attribute will be removed in the next release.

helpTopicId

String

Yes

the id used to look up a topic in a helpProvider. If provided, a help icon will appear in the title bar.

id

String

No

the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:

Must not be a zero-length String.

First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_').

Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').

inlineStyle

String

Yes

the CSS styles to use for this component. This is intended for basic style changes. The inlineStyle is a set of CSS styles that are applied to the root DOM element of the component. If the inlineStyle's CSS properties do not affect the DOM element you want affected, then you will have to create a skin and use the skinning keys which are meant to target particular DOM elements, like ::label or ::icon-style.

modal

boolean

Yes

whether the window is modal; by default false.

partialTriggers

String[]

Yes

the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update. This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too. Identifiers are relative to the source component (this component), and must account for NamingContainers. If your component is already inside of a naming container, you can use a single colon to start the search from the root of the page, or multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainers - "::" will pop out of the component's naming container (or itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, ":::" will pop out of two naming containers (including itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, etc.

rendered

boolean

Yes

whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client). If you want to change a component's rendered attribute from false to true using PPR, set the partialTrigger attribute of its parent component so the parent refreshes and in turn will render this component.

resize

String

Yes

Valid Values: off, on

The dialog's resizing behavior. Acceptable values include:

"off": the dialog automatically sizes to its content if stretchChildren is "none".

"on": user can resize the dialog with their mouse by dragging any of the dialog edges.

shortDesc

String

Yes

the short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text, in which case the behavior for the tooltip is controlled by the user agent, e.g. Firefox 2 truncates long tooltips. For form components, the shortDesc is displayed in a note window. For components that support the helpTopicId attribute it is recommended that helpTopicId is used as it is more flexible and is more accessibility-compliant.

stretchChildren

String

Yes

Valid Values: none, first

The stretching behavior for children. Acceptable values include:

"none": does not attempt to stretch any children (the default value and the value you need to use if you have more than a single child; also the value you need to use if the child does not support being stretched)

"first": stretches the first child (not to be used if you have multiple children as such usage will produce unreliable results; also not to be used if the child does not support being stretched)

styleClass

String

Yes

a CSS style class to use for this component. The style class can be defined in your jspx page or in a skinning CSS file, for example, or you can use one of our public style classes, like 'AFInstructionText'.

title

String

Yes

the title of the window.

titleIconSource

String

Yes

the URI specifying the location of the title icon source. The title icon will typically be displayed in the top left corner of the window

unsecure

java.util.Set

Yes

A whitespace separated list of attributes whose values ordinarily can be set only on the server, but need to be settable on the client. Currently, this is supported only for the "disabled" attribute.

visible

boolean

Yes

the visibility of the component. If it is "false", the component will be hidden on the client. Unlike "rendered", this does not affect the lifecycle on the server - the component may have its bindings executed, etc. - and the visibility of the component can be toggled on and off on the client, or toggled with PPR. When "rendered" is false, the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client. In most cases, use the "rendered" property instead of the "visible" property.Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
